Describe how you can split a polygon in the shape of an l into smaller shapes.

Split the L into separate shapes. To do this, where the bit sticks out, cut it off and deal with it separately.

I think you should split the L into different shapes

You have 2 sides that are 2 cms and you have 6 sides that are 1/2 cm and you have 4 sides that are 1 cm. the smallest sides are 1/2 the medium sized sides are 1 and the smallest are 1/2. so to find the perimeter you have to add them all up together so your answer will be 11 cm's
